Hey everyone,

I'm having trouble with the installation of Microsoft Office 2003 on my PC. I'm currently using Windows 7, and since I've switched to that I am not able to complete the setup. The process is interrupted by the following message:

Error:

“Error 1404. Setup cannot delete the registry keysoftwareclasses.tif. Verify that you have sufficient permissions to access the registry or contact you Information Technology department for assistance." 

Please get back to me with any solution you can think of.

Thanks.

Hi,

The error talks about your access permissions on the computer's registry which may mean that you don't have administrative access on that particular computer.

If this is the case, have your information technology department personnel do the installation for you since they must have administrative access to your computer or at least know the administrator password. You can also ask them to grant you administrative access on the computer to finish the installation.

After that's done, there shouldn't be any problems with installing that software or any other future software for that matter.

Thank you. Hope it helps.
